Summary: The writing was excellent, the plot was shaky
Review: This book is full of hilarious scenes and interesting characters. However, it seems to be just a collection of stories. The bombing at the end seems sensational and does not tie the rest of the book together. Another problem I had was that the ten year old's personality changed drastically when the got to Alabama. Back in Flint, he was the perfect kid with the delinquent brother. When he gets to Alabama, he becomes disobedient. This was plot maniuplation to set up the Wool Pooh incident. I hope the author comes out with another book soon as he is an excellent writer. I'm not sure he's a children's writer, though.

Summary: It was funny and realistic.
Review: In the beginning Byron was mean to Kenny but towards the end of the book he got nicer. Kenny was a smart nice boy through the whole book. Dad was funny and nice, momma was nice but strict at some times and little sister Joetta was the sweetest of them all.
The idea of the book is to get people to see how hard it was to be a black and live in Alabama in 1963. And to see how that family lived back then.

Summary: A terrific and exciting book!
Review: The Watsons Go to Birmingham is a good book in ways and not so good. The characters are realistic and I enjoyed them very much. The events in this book are terrific and exciting. However, there are parts in the book that are hard to read and can confuse you. I can see why this book won so many awards. If I was a real book reviewer I would give this book an award. And yes, I would recommend this book to friends and strangers.

Summary: A funny well written story about a black family.
Review: A black family lives in Flint and went to Birmingham for a little while. They do lots of stuff in the book. My favorite was the Whool Pooh. I liked it because it¹s funny and it makes Whool Pooh very funny and I don¹t know why. What he does is pulls kids under water and he was at this funny explosion. It¹s very strange. If you want to know what happens you have to read the book and I recommend it to everyone.

Summary: A funny story about a black family and their troubles.
Review: I thought that this book was good and would be excellent for those who like humor and fun. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. One theme of the book was that people get into trouble in steps, and people always can turn around and step out of it. Another theme of this book was the life of a black family and the troubles and changes they all go through. Each of the characters went through changes and trouble. Byron turns out of his trouble and helps Kenny to stay out also.

Summary: Uninteresting
Review: I found this book boring, and at the age of fourteen, juvenile. There were some humorous parts about Kenny and his family, but basically I wouldn't read it again nor would I recommend it to anyone over the age of ten or eleven. Bethany Richeson-8th grade
